Sail Life – Insulating the v-berth, part 2
Feb 2024

Sanding sucks! I finish sanding the inside of the hull in preparation for putting up stringers and wooden slats (called ceiling aboard a boat). Thanks to the awesome comments on my previous video I've learned that pine is not the best species of wood for this purpose. Thanks, guys! This is a lot of work but I think it'll make a huge difference when I move aboard the boat :) The video with my friend Doug: Random orbit sander: Cross level laser: source 
I finally get to test fit the mahogany slats for the ceiling aboard Obelix! Yay! :) Looks pretty swanky if you ask me ;) And it'll keep me nice and warm once I move aboard the boat and finally become a full-time liveaboard :) source 
I finally get to epoxy in the stringers in my v-berth. Soon I'll have a nice and comfortable v-berth to sleep in when I move aboard the boat. A little bit of insulation should go a long way in making life aboard more comfortable this coming winter. A big thank you to www.blackbearboatingandleisure.com for the free samples of MAS epoxies products. I loved working with both the thick and thin resins from MAS epoxies and I'm very much looking forward to shooting a "review" video sometime next week :) source
